The Toronto Maple Leafs traded defenseman Brandon Carlo to the St. Louis Blues on June 28, 2026. This trade follows the Maple Leafs acquiring Carlo from the Boston Bruins on March 7, 2025, giving up young center Fraser Minten and a first-round pick. The Blues sent the 73rd and 76th picks in the 2026 draft to Toronto in exchange for Carlo, which the Maple Leafs used to select winger Zach Olsen and defenseman Mans Gudmundsson. The trade has drawn criticism as Toronto received significantly less in return compared to what they initially gave up.
